[Recommended 2025 Hina Dolls!]
■For 2025, we applied our washi “handiwork” techniques to create large and medium-scale three-tier and two-tier displays.
■We use high-quality, whitewood stands exclusively designed by Ishikawa Shigyo for these original multi-tiered Hina displays.
■These beautiful multi-tiered sets were designed and prototyped in-house.
■Especially “Yu” which took years of prototyping to achieve. Although compact, it’s considered “large” by our standards.
■Each series has its own name—“Yu,” “Rin,” “Tsumugi,” and “Midori” (made of glass).
■All are Ishikawa Shigyo originals that match both Japanese and Western interiors. They’re compact, easy to display anywhere.
■We also offer “experience consumption” with our DIY kit
Our DIY kits were inspired by end-user requests and are quite popular. Young or old, anyone can enjoy them with simple arts and crafts skills—used in workshops and at many events.
■Popular Items: Our long-time favorites, including decorative wreaths, mobile dolls, and handmade beanbag dolls, are joined by brand-new releases.
■For more details, please refer to our separate product profiles, which you can also use for sales promotions.
[Recommended 2025 May Dolls!]
◆Luxurious Mino Washi kabuto (samurai helmet) sets plus original high-end chirimen carp streamers. It’s a splendid, compact May Doll display that offers both carp streamers and a kabuto in one set, perfect for modern families who want both “koinobori” and “kabuto.”
◆Mino Washi kabuto and carp streamers can each be displayed separately. Both come with a premium whitewood stand.
◆Mino Washi kabuto features precise, beautiful designs impossible with cloth. Choose from original patterns like “shira nami,” “dot gold,” “shira sakura,” “shira nami black,” “shira nami gold,” or “yuzen gold.”
Three types of crest shapes are available: “long crest,” “large crest,” or “crescent moon.” For the carp streamer, choose either the “shira” style or the “color” style.
◆We also offer a popular kiri wood box style or a whitewood stand style, so you can pick what suits your needs best.

Ishikawa Shigyo Original Hand-Dyed Mino Washi Series—Highly Popular!
━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━
We’re proud of our washi, thanks to decades of involvement with Mino Washi since 1902.
Our direct shop customers rave about it!
We keep adding new patterns to the Mino Washi yuzen dyed paper♪
Feedback includes “So beautiful!”, “Luxurious feel,” and “Great color, texture, thickness!”
Usage is varied: book covers, small boxes, accessories, byobu screens, backgrounds, craft materials, etc.
Because it’s Mino Washi—1300 years of heritage—hand-dyed color by color in Kyoto. The unique brilliance of yuzen washi cannot be replicated by cloth. Skilled artisans make separate stencils for each color, mixing dyes and printing by hand. Creating such refined patterns requires mastery across both washi-making and dyeing—this is truly a traditional Japanese craft masterpiece.
It’s thin, light, yet strong. We have an abundance of patterns. Perfect for gifts or creative work, or as background paper for display. We can sell from 1 sheet. Let us know your desired pattern number. We can also produce custom patterns.

A Word from the Staff ~Sato’s Castle~
Thank you always for your kind support.
This morning, I (Sato) started the day shoveling snow.
Happy New Year!
We truly appreciate your continued business.
Right after the holiday, Mino City welcomed its first snowy scene of the season! About 10cm of snow fell, and apparently that was enough to inspire snowmen across town. Local dogs happily frolicked around as if right out of a nursery rhyme. Most of the snow melted under the daytime sun, but we had so much fun with it. If the snow piles up again, my kids will probably beg me to build an igloo… Though winter has just begun, part of me is already waiting for spring sunshine.
Anyway, with the start of the new year, we’re officially in the Hina & May Doll sales season! In this newsletter, we’re extending our free-shipping special as requested by many of you. There’s still time, so please take advantage of this deal♪
